Christmas Rose All Winter 6 to 8 in. 
An Improved 
Large-flowered Type 
Helleborus niger altifolius 
Roses in winter! Not real roses, 
of course, but the rare and much- 
prized Christmas Rose. Actually 
blooms with the snows of late 
fall, at Christmas-time and right 
up until spring. This variety 
CH. niger altifolius) is much supe- 
rior to the common H. niger. 
Grown by J. & P. from divisions 
of flowering plants, it will bloom 
for you next fall. Even when 
there is snow on the ground, 
it takes only a couple of mild 
days for this miraculous plant to 
produce its glacier-white blooms. 
Lovely Blooms in Winter 
The lovely 5-petaled flowers are 
2 to 3 in. across, with a lively 
leathery foliage literally hugs the 
ground. Flower clusters on 6 to 
8-in. stems. The Christmas Rose 
is especially suitable for a pro- 
tected place in front of evergreens 
or shrubs because of its rich low 
foliage and the masses of unusual 
flowers when there is nothing else 
in the garden. 
No Trick to Grow It Successfully 
Given a protected location where 
it is partially shaded in the summer 
but receives winter sun, the Christ- 
mas Rose will form a broad low 
mass of handsome green. Once es- 
tablished, it should not be moved; 
allow it to spread, producing more 
and more of these lovely flowers 
center of yellow stamens.
